- I bought gas from only 3 gas stations
- 2 of these stations (1 BP and one not) are in an unaffected area according to all of my research, Iowa.
- 1 of the stations is supplied by BP and is in Chicago.
- Fact....the Chicagoland area has widely reported (by BP and the news) issue with tainted gas from BP.
- The BP representative told me over the phone that the station that I purchased gas from has other reports of tainted gas.

So, why is my hypothesis a stretch? What else would a logical person possibly deduce from this situation?

Did someone pour something into my tank? Am I making all of this up? Is the dealership making up the bottle of gas and contaminants that were found in my car? Am I the only person in Iowa that happened to get tainted gas from the non-BP station? It would be a an incredible coincidence that I have tainted gas from a random station in Iowa that matches the BP description exactly for what my symptoms are.
